To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The October Ensign is a special issue emphasizing the Book of Mormon. Once again, it appears our leaders are trying to get us to think how best to rescue our families and loved ones in these very trying times. So many answers lie within the pages of this marvelous work and wonder. If we aren’t […]
How do we strengthen families when we are bombarded by bad examples? How do we stand spiritually firm when we want to wade in questionable activities (not bad, just questionable)? How do we set an example for those around us? As women of God, we need to recognize that we have value, first, and foremost. […]
The Book of Mormon is full of examples of faithful women, who stood strong in spite of opposing voices around them. Can you imagine Sariah’s fear when men sought her husband’s life? And how he told her that they needed to leave all of their luxuries behind and travel to the sea, cross the sea […]
What makes us holy women? We follow the Lord and His commandments that lead toward salvation. Holy women DO NOT follow the world, Satan, and his minions. It is a choice each member of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ has to make. I wish I’d been alive to hear Eliza R. […]
Our Visiting Teaching message, this month, is on the Purpose of Relief Society. As I have studied all of the presidents of our organization, in this dispensation, I have been struck with how much they accomplished in the areas they were specifically designed to manage. Eliza, with her ability to teach gospel truths with poetic […]
There is a deeper understanding we can gain from the Visiting Teaching message this month. I have broken it up into three parts: Under the Priesthood, After the Pattern of the Priesthood, and Personal Revelation Personal Revelation Without sounding boastful, it is understood that women are naturally closer to the Spirit. Our innate ability toward […]
Visiting Teaching has an interesting history. Sisters began visiting one another, on assignment, by 1843. You’ll be surprised to learn that it has gone through some substantial changes over the years. And, dare I say, maybe we’ve lost some important aspects of it. As sisters flocked to join the Female Relief Society in Nauvoo, it […]
The General Relief Society Presidency seems very focused on what they are telling us. After rereading their talks, I would like to point out some things that struck me as important. Whatever any of us get out of it, it’s clear that we are being asked to make a clear choice and stand up against […]
From Illinois: “This video was a labor of love. While serving as RS president in the Chicago suburbs {Geneva, IL} , my heart was touched at all of the things the women in my ward did–for their children, spouses, and friends and ward members. Out there the ward IS everyone’s family and they truly take […]
Have you ever been visit taught and the companionship begins a game of “I have it worse” in front of you, leaving you out completely? Maybe you’ve visited someone only to have them list, and repeat, their ailments until you have to boldly look at your watch and excuse yourself. Such are the joys of Visiting […]
